I took some of the toys from the boys' bedroom up to the playroom in this post. First, we established what they mostly played with in each area. In the playroom are the weapons, spy gear, hat and dress-ups and vehicles. That still left a lot of toys in the bedroom, but also opened up more storage in empty totes and drawers. I like to use storage units, totes, baskets and drawers that can be taken down, when they're no longer needed and moved to other areas. I was able to take these out of the boys closet, which gave them a lot more floor space in there.
The Power Rangers, Small Rescue Heroes, Mega-Man Action Figures, Bakugans and some of the boys' personal items are stored in the shoe organizer.
The stacking drawers hold Planet Heroes, Rescue Heroes, Action Figures, Lego's and Transformers. The totes hold other toys in categories like: balls and marbles, animals, electronics, playmobiles. There's also separate totes for Ammon's and Zach's special treasures (these are usually fast food toys that I toss every few months). Toys that come in cases or have smaller pieces, have been put in cases and are just on the shelves. I use stackable shelves too, that can be changed and moved around when needed. They are screwed to the wall at the top so they won't tip over.
Storing Lego's has always been a problem in our home. Ammon loves Lego's and can build anything. Even when he was 4 he was building sets that said 7-12. I've tried the baggies, but he likes to mix and match the sets and would get frustrated. I tried them all in one big tote but he would just dump the whole thing out and leave them on the floor. So now I'm trying something new. I put them in buckets and placed the buckets in a drawer unit. Next to the buckets are all the instructions for the different sets. He can still mix and match, but they're a little more contained. So far, it's working. Zach also has a smaller tote for some of his specific sets and there's a big tote for the sets they're working on so they don't have to break them apart.
I brought this table in their room so they now have a place to work on puzzles, games and Lego's.
These hooks were from Ikea and under $2. They hold their jackets, sleeping bags, belts and flashlights.
Luckily my boys don't have many clothes that need to be hung up. Ammon's clothes are on red hangers and Zach's are on blue.
We are still storing the games high in their closet until the basement's finished. Luckily we have 9′ ceilings, plus they can't get to the games unless they ask.
Their books are stored in the locker and they each have their own shelves.
They have hooks for their caps.
And a bulletin board for whatever they want to put on it. Ammon wanted the calendar because he's in Chinese.
Ammon has a shelf for his pictures and trophy.
And Zach has one for his.
Their room isn't very big and sometimes it's hard for them to share such a small space, but at least we've moved some of the toys to the play room. It gives them more space to play in their room and they also have the toys upstairs to play with there.
Please don't judge me on the decorating, it's been this way since we moved in 6 years ago. They were only 10 months and 4 then. It's definitely on my to-do list.
My husband really likes Legos and started a collection after college (and before I met him) and keeps the pieces sorted by color in tool boxes. I think we are up to 12 tool boxes. He still requests new Star Wars Lego sets for birthdays and Christmas. =) He likes to sort through them to find just the right piece and the Lego boxes are good for that.
I make my girls do their tiny polly pocket and beads on a white fleece blanket and keep all the tiny pieces on it so they are easier to clean up and keep away from their baby brother.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!! You are definitely a woman after my own heart. I can't wait to look at your site and see what awesome organizational ideas you have. I'm always on the look out for great ideas that will work with my family. I actually have quite a few organizational posts on my blog if you want to take a look. Click on the organization label and it will take you to all of them.
Congrats on the new grandson. My sister just had a baby yesterday too. If only we weren't on opposite sides of the country! Enjoy your snuggle time with the new baby.
The locker for the books is SO COOL!! I want one. 😀 This was a perfect post for me to read since I have a handful of boys, lol. You have some SUPER ideas. I want to get a shoe organizer, thanks.
I am a relatively new follower of your blog and have been enjoying your many wonderful ideas!
I don't really have a good design sense at all and was wondering if you could offer me some advice?
I wish I had thought of the over the door organizer when my son was into rescue heros.
I love what you've done! I decided to become a follower after seeing your organization success! I'll be sharing these ideas with a friend who has 4 boys!
Wow, tons of great tips! I can relate – I have an 8 year old boy. Legos…. aaaahhhhhh!
Thanks for Hookin' Up with me at my first party!
THis looks great!! I have a 3 yr old and we try to keep his toys picked up, but it doesn't always happen. Thanks for sharing!
I love being organized and this is awesome…hard work that pays off!
Games are tough since none of the boxes come in the same size. Do you organize by width, by length, etc. I haven't found a way to keep them looking good and still be able to get to them all easily.
My boys, Asher(9) and Abe(8) both in third grade, hate cleaning their rooms. They have separate rooms because we had a four bedroom house.So, I have to clean 2 rooms. This post really helped me ,but my boys play with Pokemon cards. Where can I put those?
Abe got some Legos yesterday for his birthday. Now they are all over the floor. I tried the bucjets, but he keeps dumping them out. Help!
I'm so excited to have found your original post! You inspired me to organize my son's action figures, so I linked back to this post. THANK YOU for giving these foot destroyers a home in our home!
Thanks for all the great organizing info. On the lego dilemma, we have mastered that one, it is all the others we have issues with. We store our legos in rolling under the bed bins, than the legos are more spread out, and can be effectively dug through, finding what you need. Also, those projects and remaining legos can be placed back in the bin, and rolled away when they are not being used.
Hope this idea is something that might be useful to you!


Bodybuilding steroids are available in plenty in every country in the world. Hundreds of different bodybuilding steroids are available there but very few of those elements are regarded to be the genuine bodybuilding elements by the users. One such substance is Anabol. This is a decades old steroid that has been equally accepted by the users of all ages and all time. This is one of the most powerful anabolic elements that have the capability of providing miraculous muscle and energy gain. It contains Methandienone as the key ingredient which is a string anabolic substance. Apart from being a strong anabolic, this is a strong androgenic as well.
Some of the other popular names of this element are D-Bol, Dianabol, Methan, Methanabol etc. Regardless of various names, in the core all these are same.
This is an oral anabolic steroid that has a huge impact in the protein metabolism.
This allows to gain huge muscle mass and also improves the level of body strength. This element is often regarded as the 'mass-steroid'. This has long been the first preference of many bodybuilders and athletes for the simple reason this can improve the body power which is extremely needed in any kinds of sports or athletics. The most amazing part of this substance is that it is not required with higher quantity. Only a few 5mg tablets of this drug are enough for showing the results. The regular dosage of Anabol 5mg tablets for men is 15 to 50mg and women too can use this steroid with the dosage of 5 to 10mg per day. Although, I think women should better stay off this drug because of the estrogenic impacts.
The dosage of this steroid is decided according to the requirement of the individual. This also depends on the physical ability of the users as well. For the experienced bodybuilders, the dosage can vary from 15mgto 40mg. But if the user is a novice, he should not cross the limit of 20mg on a daily basis. After eight weeks, the capability of this steroid tends to slow down. And this is a very crucial stage of your steroid cycle. You should never think of increasing the dosage at this stage. Rather, incorporating substances like Deca Durabolin or Primobolan in the cycle can be beneficial. The dosage of these steroids would be 200mg per week. For more intense outcomes or if the user is experienced enough he can go with 400mg per week dosage.
Like many other steroids, this substance too has some side effects but if the dosage is low, the effects will not be very detrimental. Some of the prevalent side effects of this steroid are liver toxicity, water retention, estrogenic impacts etc. Application of proper anti-estrogen may be effective in this case.
The best place to buy this substance is online steroid stores. In any reputable steroid store, users can get this element at a reasonable price. Therefore, if you are planning to build up a strong and muscular physique or if you are novice in the field of bodybuilding, the best option for you is always Anabol. Proper use of this substance is sure to offer the best results.

A Princess Bride Memoir? Inconceivable!
Westley—that is, Cary Elwes—talks about PB-themed weddings and why even Brits like the 1987 film he starred in.
A purple-haired woman stops in front of the actor Cary Elwes' table among the shelves of San Francisco's Book Passage.
If Elwes were slicker, or perhaps more full of himself, he might have responded with "As you wish." That's the catchphrase of Westley, the swoony farmboy turned pirate he played in The Princess Bride. It's also the title of the book he's here in town to sign, in which he describes the making of the 1987 fantasy film.
But Elwes—whose British accent is noticeable even after years of living in the States—simply thanks her for watching. Later he'll tell me he tries to avoid cribbing Westley's lines in real life.
As Princess Bride fan encounters go, that one was pretty tame. Because something about the film's blend of offbeat humor, swashbuckling romance, and period costume seems to inspire obsessive behavior.
And then there are the weddings. Brides and grooms in full medieval garb with cakes in the shape of swords. Buffet tables full of peanuts, in honor of the gentle giant Fezzik's rhyming skills. Ministers who mimic the lisp of the Impressive Clergyman, ordained specifically to join Princess Bride obsessives in holy matrimony. Elwes says he's been invited to quite a few of these events, but he never attends.
"As you wish" will probably be inscribed on his gravestone, Elwes says. And he's okay with that. Considering that the screenplay passed through the hands of two studios and was declared "unmakeable" before Rob Reiner cast him, and that it didn't do particularly well at the box office ("We opened the same weekend as a little film called Fatal Attraction," he says), he's pretty pleased with how things turned out.
It wasn't until The Princess Bride came out on videotape (remember VHS?) that it really found a following. The moment Elwes understood what a hit it was came in a Manhattan restaurant almost a decade after the original release, when he ordered a steak medium-rare. "As you wish," the waitress replied.
When Andre the Giant passed out in a hotel lobby after too much cast partying, the staff couldn't move him, so they put up a velvet rope barrier until morning.
Andre the Giant, who played Fezzik, looms as large in the book's anecdotes as the 500-pound, 7′-4″ wrestler did in real life. Elwes describes how after a night of heavy drinking, Andre once passed out in the lobby of a prestigious hotel. The staff couldn't move him, so they put up a velvet rope barrier and left him there until morning.
Andre also played a role in the one on-set moment that Elwes regrets. After days of watching the giant zip around on an ATV—Andre's back hurt too much for him to scramble around the hilly English countryside where the shooting took place—Elwes couldn't resist when his fellow actor offered him a turn. Within minutes, Elwes was on the ground with a broken toe—which made his subsequent action scenes a painful endeavor.

Jessica Foxx releases empowering new single 'Never Meant To Be'
Musician Jessica Foxx has been dancing and performing since the tender age of 3, and then went on to take voice lessons and acting classes shortly after. She moved to Los Angeles in 2014 to continue her passion of being an artist, and enrolled in the Vocal Performance program at the renowned Musicians Institute in Hollywood, CA, and then began to release her original music in 2016.
Foxx blends her love of electro and dark-pop, with a more edgier sound with her vulnerable songwriting that is refreshing and bold. While Foxx releases her music independently, her debut single, "Heartbreak Tastes Like Summer," was co-written with upcoming musician, Leland, who has written for such big acts like Selena Gomez, Troye Sivan and Sabrina Carpenter. Her single "Cake" was also written with BMG songwriter Jeremy Thurber, known for his writing with and for Meghan Trainor and Trisha Paytas. The single was also mastered by Randy Merrill, who has worked with Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and Katy Perry. Her latest single "Bali" has reached over 100k streams on Spotify, consisting of 63 countries around the world.
Foxx's main focus with her music is to connect with her fans and build a genuine community around and with her music. Listen to her new single "Never Meant To Be" via the linked Spotify app below:

Stanley Wingate Woodward was born on December 11, 1890, in Malden, Massachusetts, son of Alice E. (Colesworthy) and Frank E. Woodward. He was one of eight children and a twin of Sidney, who later became an art dealer and critic.
In 1909, Woodward graduated from Malden High School and the family moved to Wellesley Hills. He studied at the Eric Pape School of Art, the School of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. He left school to serve in France as a Corporal in the Field Artillery 28th Division during World War I. After the war, he settled in Ogunquit, Maine, and became a free lance illustrator for Collier's and the Christian Science Monitor, where his brother Sidney was art editor.
In 1925, he held his first solo show of marine oils at Casson Galleries, Boston, where his twin brother Sidney was manager. He was encouraged to continue painting the ocean after the entire exhibition sold out.
Woodward married Ruth Brainerd in 1926 and they settled in Newton, Massachusetts, where they were neighbors to a young Bette Davis, who had recently graduated from high school. Woodward maintained contact with the actress for the rest of his life, and through Ms. Davis, he befriended other show business personalities.
During the 1930s, Woodward taught painting at the Woodward Outdoor Painting School of Rockport, Massachusetts, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, at the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, Florida, and at the Laguna Beach School in California. In 1937, he established his residence and studio in Rockport, Massachusetts.
Woodward served as an Air Corps captain and director of camouflage training at McChord Field in Tacoma, Washington, during World War II. In 1947, he published a book on painting techniques entitled Adventure in Marine Painting. He was also the author of Marine Paintings in Oil and Water Color.
Woodward was a member of the Chicago Society of Etchers, the Concord Art Association, the Print Makers Society of California, the Boston Society of Water Color Painters, Allied Artists of America, the Guild of Boston Artists, the North Shore Art Association, the American Water Color Society, the Grand Central Galleries Association, and the Rockport Art Association. His work is in the collections of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Bowdoin College, Amherst College, Lehigh University, and the Prudential Life Insurance Collection.

AP News Biden Administration News
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court has stopped a major push by the Biden administration to boost the nation's COVID-19 vaccination rate, a requirement that employees at large businesses get a vaccine or test regularly and wear a mask on the job.
At the same time, the court is allowing the administration to proceed with a vaccine mandate for most health care workers in the U.S. The court's orders Thursday came during a spike in coronavirus cases caused by the omicron variant.
The court's conservative majority concluded the administration overstepped its authority by seeking to impose the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's vaccine-or-test rule on U.S. businesses with at least 100 employees. More than 80 million people would have been affected and OSHA had estimated that the rule would save 6,500 lives and prevent 250,000 hospitalizations over six months.
President Joe Biden said he was "disappointed that the Supreme Court has chosen to block common-sense life-saving requirements for employees at large businesses that were grounded squarely in both science and the law."
Biden: Businesses Need to Enact Their Own Mandate
Biden called on businesses to institute their own vaccination requirements, noting that a third of Fortune 100 companies already have done so.
When crafting the OSHA rule, White House officials always anticipated legal challenges — and privately some harbored doubts that it could withstand them. The administration nonetheless still views the rule as a success at already driving millions of people to get vaccinated and encouraging private businesses to implement their own requirements that are unaffected by the legal challenge.
The OSHA regulation had initially been blocked by a federal appeals court in New Orleans, then allowed to take effect by a federal appellate panel in Cincinnati.
The National Retail Federation, the nation's largest retail trade group, called the Supreme Court's decision "a significant victory for employers."
Health Care Workers Still Under Mandate
The vaccine mandate that the court will allow to be enforced nationwide scraped by on a 5-4 vote, with Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh joining the liberals to form a majority. The mandate covers virtually all health care workers in the country, applying to providers that receive federal Medicare or Medicaid funding. It affects 10.4 million workers at 76,000 health care facilities as well as home health care providers. The rule has medical and religious exemptions.
Biden said that decision by the court "will save lives."
In an unsigned opinion, the court wrote: "The challenges posed by a global pandemic do not allow a federal agency to exercise power that Congress has not conferred upon it. At the same time, such unprecedented circumstances provide no grounds for limiting the exercise of authorities the agency has long been recognized to have." It said the "latter principle governs" in the healthcare arena.
Mandate Was Already Blocked in Some States
More than 208 million Americans, 62.7% of the population, are fully vaccinated, and more than a third of those have received booster shots, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. All nine justices have gotten booster shots.
The courthouse remains closed to the public, and lawyers and reporters are asked for negative test results before being allowed inside the courtroom for arguments, though vaccinations are not required.
The justices heard arguments on the challenges last week. Their questions then hinted at the split verdict that they issued Thursday.

Avast SafePrice Review 2019: Is it Worth It? How to Remove it?
"The less I care, the happier I am." Man! I am telling you, the person who said this quote, should be punished. It's not applicable in every situation, especially when you are installing an antivirus software that offers you different extra add-ons like Avast SafePrice extension. And this is all because of one sh…y quote.
All those who are a regular audience of our site, know that we are a great fan of Avast Cleanup due to its efficient performance as compare to other Cleanup software.

In case you don't want to use Avast SafePrice extension on Chrome, FireFox or Internet Explorer, following are different methods to obliterate it from your system.
If you are using Windows earlier version such as Vista, XP or Windows 7, then First go to the "Start" option, which is located at the bottom left part of the screen and "Click" on it > the menu bar will appear > Select "Control Panel" option.

If the methods which are mentioned above failed to remove Avast SafePrice extension from your system, then reliable anti-malware software is the only solution to remove it.
There is hundreds of anti-malware software available online both free and paid. However, according to our tech experts, always use paid anti-malware software to remove different malicious software from your system.
The reason why our tech experts recommend paid version anti-malware software is due to most of the free anti-malware software is unable to remove this kind of harmful malware.
The only thing these so-called free anti-malware do is temporary limit them, but they still exist in your system and might disturb you again.
To make the Avast SafePrice review entirely unprejudiced, we add some users reviews, which significantly helps you to make your decision whether you want to keep it or remove it permanently.
The first review we add in this blog shows how much this user is stubborn with Avast SafePrice extension. Which is installed without any permission.
Here is another user, who is not happy at all by the idea of Avast SafePrice extension.
However, one user in discussion comes with an idea to how to use SafePrice extension effectively to run your business.
There is no doubt that Avast offers some most reliable antivirus and cleanup software in the market. However, sometime these kind of renowned and trusted brands forget to test their own products before launching in the market just to stay in the highly competitive market.
On the other hand, the reason why we suffer this kind of additional features, which are worthless, and of no use is due to our laziness at the time of installing different software.
So, it is clear now that SafePrice extension is the worst software made by Avast so far. We hope that you find our Avast SafePrice review helpful to remove it completely from your system. In case you still find any difficulty or want to ask something, feel free to contact us in comment below.

If anyone thinks that this present life is a life not only of labour but also of reward, a life not only of sowing seed but also of harvesting, then we must let him follow the rules of sagacity that are in harmony with his view of life. But we would not care to ask his advice, since he is, after all, an alien and a foreigner who has no knowledge of, no connection with, that far country about which we are asking.
"The Expectancy of Eternal Salvation".
We need to recognize […] that this commandment is a hard discipline: it destroys, it breaks in order to bind; like a cautery, it wounds in order to heal; and now, in order to heal the damage it has in part inflicted, it must be applied again. In practical terms, I suspect that this means that Christians must make an ever more concerted effort to recall and recover the wisdom and centrality of the ascetic tradition. It takes formidable faith and devotion to resist the evils of one's age, and it is to the history of Christian asceticism — especially, perhaps, the apophthegms of the Desert Fathers — that all Christians, whether married or not, should turn for guidance. To have no god but the God of Christ, after all, means today that we must endure the lenten privations of what is most certainly a dark age, and strive to resist the bland solace, inane charms, brute viciousness, and dazed passivity of post-Christian culture—all of which are so tempting precisely because they enjoin us to believe in and adore ourselves.
It means also to remain aloof from many of the moral languages of our time, which are — even at their most sentimental, tender, and tolerant — usually as decadent and egoistic as the currently most fashionable vices. It means, in short, self-abnegation, contrarianism, a willingness not only to welcome but to condemn, and a refusal of secularization as fierce as the refusal of our Christian ancestors to burn incense to the genius of the emperor. This is not an especially grim prescription, I should add: Christian asceticism is not, after all, a cruel disfigurement of the will, contaminated by the world-weariness or malice towards creation that one can justly ascribe to many other varieties of religious detachment. It is, rather, the cultivation of the pure heart and pure eye, which allows one to receive the world, and rejoice in it, not as a possession of the will or an occasion for the exercise of power, but as the good gift of God.
By faith are our hearts purified to see what only the pure in heart see.
The unfaithful believe other things, hope for other things, love other things than do the faithful, and of necessity therefore they live differently.

Technically speaking, the Coolermaster Ergostand III supports laptops with footprints up to 15" wide and 11" deep at an angle of 3.5°or as high as 50° vertical.
Coolermaster's Nepton 240M utilizes a 277x120mm aluminum heat exchanger that measures 28mm thick. The 'Silencio' is a novel high-pressure fan that spins at 2400RPM-800RPM to drive up to 76CFM at 4.8mmH2O air pressure, according to manufacturer specs. Connecting the heat exchanger to the Nepton 240M's waterblock is a 310mm length of 13mm O.D. corrugated Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) tubing.
The Coolermaster Hyper D92 is a moderately sized CPU cooler which stands 147mm tall and weighs 636 grams. The Hyper D92 ships with not a 120mm... or even 140mm fan, but rather a pair of 92mm fans that spin at 2800-800RPM. The fans move upwards of 15-55CFM according to manufacturer specs. Small 92mm fans may seem terribly risky, but Coolermaster have a trick up their sleeves.
Coolermaster's Nepton 280L is the best performing all-in-one CPU watercooler Frostytech has tested... thus far. More surprisingly for us, the Nepton 280L managed to rise to the top of the 200W Intel LGA2011, 150W & 85W Intel LGA115x/775 and 125W AMD synthetic thermal heatsink test results charts. After testing +750 CPU thermal solutions, it's kind of nice to be surprised.
The Nepton 140XL ships completely assembled, plumbed and filled. The user need only attach the heat exchanger to a free fan vent (140mm or 120mm) on the inside of the PC case and mount the waterblock/pump head to the processor. There's no silly software or USB connections to monitor pump speed or liquid temperatures.
UPDATED! Coolermaster's Seidon 120V is an economical all-in-one liquid cooling solution that's especially suited to small PC cases and media centers. The compact 120mm aluminum heat exchanger ships with a single 120mm fan, so it doesn't take up too much space and make mounting to a rear/top fan vent cumbersome.
The Coolermaster TPC-812 heatsink performs exceptionally well on the synthetic Intel platform at stock fan speed, within the Top 5 Intel heatsinks tested to date in fact!
Top down heatsinks are great for cooling DRAM modules and motherboard components around the CPU socket, so many an enthusiast swears by them for overall system happiness.
Coolermaster's Hyper 212 Evo heatsink stands 160mm tall, weighs in at moderate 569 grams and packs in four exposed 6mm diameter copper heatpipes on its base. Otherwise the Hyper 212 Evo is a pretty standard 'tower' heatsink. A 600-2000RPM, 120mm PWM fan is supplied with swept-forward impeller blades.
The Vortex Plus heatsink stands 83mm tall, in total. A 25mm thick, 92mm PWM fan exhausts downward so waste air impinges on a lower extruded aluminum heatsink that sits atop the processor. It's both a good use of space for additional cooling surface area and an admission by heatsink designers that the aluminum fins above aren't getting the whole job done by themselves.
In this review Frostytech will be testing Coolermaster's Hyper 212 Plus tower heatsink - an exposed heatpipe base cooler that comes ready out of the box for socket 1156 Intel 'Lynnfield' P55 motherboards. Naturally, it supports Intel socket 775/1366/1156 and AMD 939/AM2/AM3 processors.
The Hyper TX3 heatsink weighs in at 470 grams, stands less than 140mm tall, and comes equipped with a low noise 92mm 800-2800RPM PWM fan that drives 17-54CFM according the manufacturer.
This tower heatsink stands out because its two 92mm fans are arranged in an offset push-pull formation. There are a couple reasons for offsetting the fans by 20mm that we'll touch on momentarily.
The Coolermaster Hyper Z600 Black Label heatsink is part of a special Limited Edition kit, comprised of all black versions of the quiet Cooler Master Cosmos RC 1000 case, Real Power 850W power supply and Hyper Z600 heatsink.
The Cooler master V8 heatsink is one of the nicer thermal solutions from the company in a long while, and well worth your attention today.
Cooler master's GeminII S heatsink stands just 88mm tall and ships with a 120mm fan mounted to its frame. An extra set of brackets allow that fan to be replaced with two 92mm or 80mm fans.
Cooler master's Hyper Z600 heatsink is a novel passive CPU heatsink for today's dual core processors. Its' star shape, widely spaced aluminum fins and prodigious number of silvery copper heatpipes allow it to work without the benefit of a fan.
The Cooler master Aquagate Mini R80 is a self contained watercooling system designed for a broad range of Intel and AMD processors.
The Cooler master Hyper 212 is a 60mm tall heatsink, and it's comprised of just the right mix of copper heatpipes and aluminum cooling fins. I'll save you the trouble of skipping to the end of this review, it's good!
The Cooler Master KHC-L91 Hyper48 comes with a collection of brackets and mounting plates which enable its use on socket 478/775 Intel Pentium 4 and socket 754/939/940 AMD Athlon64 processors.
Fresh from the chrome plated Jet4 wonder, Cooler master are back with the brand new 6-heatpipe packing Hyper6 KHC-V81-U1 Intel Pentium4 and AMD Athlon64 heatsink!
If you have an aluminum case, you'll be pleased to see that the 3.5" aluminum bracket is tastefully done, and should fit in nicely.
Squirrel cage fans have a couple of benefits over standard vaneaxial fans when it comes to lower-noise heatsinks, though they don't tend to deliver nearly as much air.
The Cooler Master IHC-H71 fulfills this role by bringing highly conductive copper, heatpipes, and a good sized fan together.
Using cooper is an obvious first step, and Cooler master have even gone one step further by including twin heatpipes in the HHC-001.
The HHC-L61 is Cooler master's answer to the cry for a good performing heatsink that don't create a lot of noise.
Beneath the shiny exterior of the Cooler Master copper skive heatsink there lies a small thermistor which sends back temperature readings to the fan.
Weighing in at around 300-400grams the Cooler Master CCH-002 is elegantly made, and equipped with a speedy 6800 RPM fan.
Like all coolers, what was once good can become dated rather quickly. The Cooler Master DP5-5F11 seeks to change that.
There are countless heatsinks to choose from when faced with a bare OEM Duron or T-Bird these days.
With out a doubt this has to be the coolest and most deadly looking piece of cooling hardware to ever grace a computers' processor!

Putin defends Security Council veto, assails Western liberalism
Henry Meyer, Bloomberg News on Oct 21, 2021
Published in News & Features
MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin said abolishing the veto power of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council would mean the end of the world body, as he railed against Western liberal values and extolled "moderate conservatism."
Energy markets are an example of a capitalist model that has exhausted itself amid widening divisions between the rich and poor, Putin told a meeting of the Valdai Club discussion group in Sochi, Russia, on Thursday. Russia was striving, like many northern European countries, to build a social state that met citizens needs, he said.
Relations with the U.S. were "on the whole, on the right track" following his Geneva summit in June with President Joe Biden, Putin said. While there were setbacks, "we are still moving along on the general agreements," he said.
The current U.N. framework with Russia, China, the U.S., France and the U.K. holding a privileged status reflects the situation after World War II, Putin said. While he said rising powers such as India and South Africa have a right to greater representation, Putin rejected criticism by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of the U.N.'s existing operation.
The U.N. "would die that very same day" if the so-called P5's veto was removed, Putin said.
The former KGB spy defended traditional conservative values, warning that Western policies on gender and sexual identity risked the survival of the human race.
"I am convinced that we need to fight for true values, defending them with all our might," Putin said.

We have previously reported on the increasing use of femtosecond lasers to perform LASIK surgery.
Last month's issue of the American Journal of Ophthalmology reported on research intended to compare the outcomes of LASIK surgery performed with a femtosecond laser vs a mechanical microkeratome for the correction of low to moderate hyperopia.
Spanish researchers studied patients who had undergone LASIK to correct their hyperopia using the 60-kHz IntraLase femtosecond laser with age- and refraction-matched patients on whom the Moria M2 microkeratome was used.
The outcome? Hyperopic LASIK performed with the IntraLase femtosecond laser seemed to achieve better refractive results 3 months after the surgery compared to the M2 microkeratome, without significant differences in safety between both procedures.

This may be a short review but one I felt I really wanted to make. The Serpent King captured for me something I've never really gotten in a YA book. The closest I can think of would be Deadly Curiosities by Gail Z Martin. What both got was a sense of a place. Deadly Curiosities captured what Charleston means to me (as a place I frequented as a child and now again as an adult) and The Serpent King captures perfectly to me what it was like growing up in East Tennessee. In the college town I went to school in is mentioned briefly. The book itself is set only a few hours from me, and I could feel that.
I was cautious going into this book, honestly. I had gotten the sampler at YALLFest – one of the few I actually read, and thought it sounded intriguing enough to add to the 'Library' list. When this popped out of my OwlCrate I was genuinely excited. So excited I tossed my TBR out the window and started this the next day. I was worried about the mention of religion and of the chance that the location would adversely affect the book. I've read plenty of books where the 'Southerner' trope is used and abused and let me tell you – I hate it.
These characters however had the quiet dignity and reserve I wanted. The stereotype of the shoe-less hillbilly is tired and done and I wear my shoes at least most of the time I should, thank you very much. Characters like Travis's mom, with her quiet and meek support and love is something so familiar it makes my heart ache. On that note let me say that I adored our main characters in this and it genuinely broke me. At one point I turned to my husband at work and said 'These are my babies and something bad is going to happen, I'm not ready for it'. About an hour later it happened and I wasn't read then either.
The book is a touch predictable in what the ultimate climax is, the triggering event that changes everything, but that doesn't take away from it's impact and how it changes the story. If you at all care for contemporary YA or are at all interested in what I feel was a lovely and accurate representation of a lot of East Tennessee check this one out.

Guaranteed Annual Income for Artists? For All?
Guaranteed Annual Income for Artists and Writers? For All?
What if artists could focus on art without worrying about where the next rent cheque or the food bill or the next payment for last month's tour would come from? Without worrying about the final report or the next grant deadline? We've heard the award winners tell their television hosts at galas that they are grateful for the cash prize because it allows them to pay down their credit card. We also know the award winning artists who need to give their winnings back because they are on social assistance. Artists and writers put months, likely years, into developing the 'product'. What if these professionals could simply do the work they are best at, gifted at? Which might include grant applications. Which might include building the social media presence.
But now, much more than ten years ago, so much more than fifty years ago, most artists of all stripes need to attend to "the business" before they can settle down to production. They need to work on marketing. On distribution. On promotion. Because almost all of that has slowly inexorably moved into the artist's realm of responsibility.
The need for a guaranteed annual income for artist is even greater today that when further study of it was proposed by the first Minister's Advisory Committee for the Status of the Artist (September 30, 1993). It was a radical suggestion.
I was on the committee and I was warned about it, even though, as a committee, we could not in all conscience, put forward a comprehensive plan without it. We were taken aside by politicians, by bureaucrats, and warned that provision would not fly. What if everyone wanted a guaranteed annual income? Why just artists and writers?
Indeed. Why not everyone? When I first heard of Guaranteed Annual Income (GAI), back in Judy Martin's Sociology 101, circa 1973, the federal white paper on GAI from the Canadian Department of National Health and Welfare (1970) had become a subject of intense discussion. The document outlined a comprehensive GAI for every Canadian as a strategy to reduce poverty. However, more study was needed to determine if the availability of such an income would reduce incentives to work and save. Also, study was needed to determine how much such a system would cost. So a social experiment took place in Dauphin, Manitoba. And the government changed. The experiment ended without analysis. In those days the GAI concept was considered left wing radical. Now, it's being looked on with favour by right wing governments. The target in recent test cases are the working poor, and the folks working the 'gig' economy.
We still don't know how much a Guaranteed Annual Income would cost across the board. It really depends a lot on the model chosen. If the model allows the income to be adjusted based on amount earned versus amount granted, then the variables are as complex as the community members served, and their particular financial circumstances from time to time. If the model grants the same amount to everyone regardless of income, then the cost can be calculated, but the concern then becomes one of incentive to work. There are those who express the concern that employers will not have an incentive to provide a living wage as a result. Really? As if that's already happening. No one can comfortably live on minimum wage. No matter how creative.
Artists differ from the general public. They are working, but they are not wage earners, for the most part, and they don't punch a time clock. They may be paid for 'gigs' but as often they work in 'research and development'. Their work is not valued as it should be in most cases, their income arrives in dribs and drabs, and sometimes windfalls, but not regularly, and not dependably. Artists work on spec, mostly, for years often. Would a guaranteed annual income destroy their incentive to do their work? Or would it open up their time to be more productive rather than worry about writing grant applications or finding very part time service industry jobs to cover the rent?
In any event, the preliminary results of those long ago studies (over 40 years ago) reported an increase in dignity, independence, more quality family life, more students completing high school. Results that are measurable and positive. More recently, studies in Finland (unemployment recipients only – study ended in April 2018) and Ontario (beginning in 2018) have examined GAI once again. The preliminary results were very encouraging. Unemployed heads of family in Finland reported taking the opportunity to start a new business, a risk they would not have tried before.
Despite its big price tag, and despite the dangers outlined above, it's being tried as poverty reduction! Now of all times. Now that the future is almost upon us, as robots replace highly paid oil patch workers, as cars and trucks become automated, as farms become industrial-sized. In Saskatchewan, it is easy to imagine a future where there are dramatically fewer jobs in the traditional employment sectors, where the increased opportunities for employment will be in health care and in entertainment. In the arts.
So it's okay to provide GAI to unemployed as a group. Could it be okay to consider artists a special case? The arts are chronically undervalued in our society and even though the copyright system and digital development is ensuring the enduring loss of control over artists portfolios, books and photographs, artists are still seen either as 1) star quality entrepreneurs or 2) hobbyists.
As entrepreneurs, why would they need more supports than the excellent sales that they enjoy? The jack pots we hear about are not the result of a commensurate amount of time and effort and expense. Indeed, having an inventory of work to draw from is a life's work, in most cases. While in development, even entrepreneurs need to cover the bills.
As hobbyists, well, the artist needs to be a teacher, an administrator, or to marry well.
Is there any other profession that suffers from such judgement?
Profession it is. We've defined 'what' a professional artist is in provincial and federal legislation. The Minister's Advisory Committee report provided examples of blue prints for how that definition could work with a GAI.
So perhaps there is not a critical mass of people across this province pushing for reduction in poverty (see Basic Income Ireland, below). A critical mass is required to move the political agenda. That and a committed leader. The case can certainly be made that the arts are a special case, that the arts are worth a trial run, that artists, of all professionals, deserve a GAI.
Report of the Minister's Advisory Committee on Status of the Artist (September 1993).
An economist who studied Manitoba's experiment with minimum income in the 1970s says social scientists the world over will be interested to see how Ontario's rebirth of the program will play out.

First Look: Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM
Matt Golowczynski
We take a first look at Canon's new pancake optic
On the same day it announced EOS 650D DSLR, Canon also unveiled a new pancake optic, the EF 40mm f/2.8 STM. The lens has already attracted much attention online, and for a number of valid reasons. We managed to get hold of a sample and spent a week in its company to find out whether its performance is likely to match the level of interest it's already garnered. We'll be reviewing the lens more thoroughly in the near future – in the meantime the meantime, here are our first impressions.
Before that, a brief explanation on the interest surrounding this optic. Although this announcement wasn't expected from Canon, it shouldn't come as too great a surprise given the recent activities from other manufacturers. Pancake lenses have gained popularity in tandem with the rise of small compact system cameras, and Canon is the only major manufacturer not to have an offering similar to those from Pentax, Olympus, Sony and, more recently, it's biggest rival Nikon.
The portability of such cameras has been largely hampered by many of the lenses released alongside, although with pancake lenses many can at least approach being pocketable. Although a camera such as the EOS 650D is not exactly pocket friendly in itself, a lens such as the EF 40mm f/2.8 STM adds so little extra bulk to its body that it's almost as if it's not there. In this way, Canon doesn't get completely left behind as its peers miniaturise their systems. The lens also has the further draw of being released at £229, which makes it likely to be considered by enthusiasts and professionals alike.
Design and Operation
As an EF lens, the 40mm f/2.8 is compatible with both APS-C and full-frame EOS bodies, although during our brief time with the lens we were only able to pair it with an EOS 650D body. As such, while some of the below comments will be applicable to users of either type of camera, those regarding image quality will only be fully relevant to users of cropped-sensor bodies, where certain aberrations towards the peripheries of the frame may be less apparent, if visible at all.
The lens measures just under 23mm thick, and weighs 130g. With such a slim profile it eschews practically all external features, save for a small AF/MF switch and a manual focusing ring right at its very front, and a red indicator mark for mounting. There's also a sturdy metal lens mount at its rear, which, although weightier than a plastic alternative, does at least give the impression it'll be around for longer.
On the inside six elements lie over four groups, with Super Spectra coatings and aspherical surfaces used to help with light transmission and control aberrations. The barrel of the optic states quite clearly the lens's focusing capabilities down to 30cm, which may rule it out for macro work but not necessarily for other close-up photography.
One issue with other pancake lenses has concerned the fiddly nature of
their lens caps, although here the situation is much improved. Although
the cap itself is still necessarily small in size (52mm) it's still
thick enough to be removed and snapped back on conveniently. The
focusing ring which encircles the front of the barrel may also first
appear too shallow to be usable, but it revolves freely and is just
broad enough for comfortable operation.
While there's no reason why the lens cannot simply be used for still shooting, Canon has designed the 40mm f/2.8 with a stepper motor (STM), specifically with video recording in mind. This, Canon claims, allows smooth, accurate and discreet continuous autofocus in live view and movie modes. In use the lens does indeed focus more smoothly than a more conventional EF or EF-S lens, without the coarse shifting as the lens finds the desired point. The trade off for this discretion, however, is speed, with subjects bought to focus gradually rather than promptly. It's also much quieter, its movement characterised by a gentle hum rather than the more frantic scratching of a lens such as the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II.
There appears to be some minor chromatic aberration across edges towards the peripheries of the frame, although this is typically only visible in high-contrast edges, where many lenses would be susceptible to this. With vignetting, even at the widest aperture of f/2.8 the absence of any is pleasing, although against a full-frame sensor this may be more pronounced. While edges and corners appear marginally soft at wider apertures, central sharpness is more than satisfactory here, and once apertures of f/5.6 and smaller are used consistency across the frame is much improved.
A word of warning: against a cropped APS-C sensor the effective focal length is closer to 64mm than 40mm. Theoretically, this means that when the lens is hand held with shutter speeds slower than 1/80sec there's a chance of image blur compromising image details (the lens is too slim to incorporate an Image Stabilizer).
Of course, blur in images is influenced by a range of factors, such as the photographer's stance, the conditions in which the image is being captured etc – in other words, this rule of thumb, while based on sound theory, is not inflexible. Then again, as a lightweight lens the EF 40mm f/2.8 cannot be supported in a way others can, which only further compromises stability. Indeed, examining images at around the 1/80sec mark and slower shows details to be compromised by slight softening. Likewise, when capturing video hand held, the omission of an Image Stabilizer means that footage isn't quite as stable as it is when using an IS optic.
Any small and lightweight lens that's capable of producing sharp results is likely to end up a favourite, and the EF 40mm f/2.8 STM has a lot going for it. Quite whether it has the same appeal for professional photographers as it does for enthusiasts is debatable, as its in-movie autofocusing properties will be less of a concern for more serious videographers who will prefer to focus manually.
Still, focusing system aside, its portability and relatively wide maximum aperture mean it's more than likely to be considered by a range of photographers, particularly as its asking price has already drifted below the £200 mark at some online retailers. Those interested in the STM technology may also be interested in the lens's launch partner, the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, which has been designed with similar intentions and incorporates an Image Stabilizer system.

Q: OSGi container for Android I'm working in a project similar to Taintdroid that uses a scientific technique called "dynamic taint analysis" .
So I have to find the appropriete containers for OSGi to deploy on android.
I find answers in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/560794/what-osgi-container-do-you-recommend
but it is is not destinated to Smartphones.
So what's the favorites OSGi containers for Smartphones and why?

A: I use Apache Felix, which has support for Android out of the box. I like it because of its 'clean' OSGi implementation, and its modest footprint makes it a good choice for a smartphone (especially since componentizing your application stops some of the Android tooling's optimizations).
Other than that, assuming that you get other containers to run on your device, it all comes down to personal preference and finding the best fit for your situation.

Act now for Mumia Abu-Jamal, Black U.S. political prisoner
By Henry Hagins posted on July 6, 2015
On July 4, the apparatus of state power, like it does every year, arrogantly lauded itself for its alleged mandate to occupy the "lighthouse of democracy" around the world. Drunk on the brew of grand larceny, they will never voluntarily imbibe the sobering elixir of Frederick Douglass' unforgettable Fourth of July speech in 1853 in which he soundly revokes U.S. claims to such authority.
Douglass' "What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?" speech could have been minted today, at a time when U.S. imperialism's wars pockmark the entire planet. When over 2.4 million prisoners, including about a million African Americans, languish and toil in slave-like conditions in U.S. prisons and jails.
Just look at the obscene cat-and-mouse game — a war by all levels of the state of Pennsylvania — to torment political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal and induce his demise, this time through outright medical abuse and neglect.
The assault on Abu-Jamal's health has been going on for well over six months. The alleged recovery prescription is Swiss-cheesed with gaping holes, contradictions and medical inaction.
On June 29, Suzanne Ross, of the Free Mumia Abu-Jamal Coalition (NYC) and International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal, and Mumia's brother, Keith Cook, visited the ailing Mumia. Their observations can be found at [email protected]
Bottom line: Abu-Jamal's health is not good. His skin condition offers great discomfort that hardly reflects healing.
We must pull out the stops again to protect Mumia's health and ultimately bring him home! Heat up the grapevine. Call friends, family, activists, influential people and organizations, etc. The time to act is surely now!
Call the following numbers and demand that Mumia Abu-Jamal be granted treatment by specialists of his choosing who are outside the Department of Corrections; an appropriate diet; and daily visits by family, friends and attorneys: John Wetzel, Secretary, Pennsylvania Department of Corrections: 717-728-4109; and Thomas Wolf, Governor of Pennsylvania: 717-787-2500.
